ENLLORÔ (VOODOO MOON)
ENLLOR
Lyrics: Harold Rome - Music: Ordolio Morales and Julio Blanco
Carmen Cavallaro, others
Hark to the drums! Dark voodoo drums!
They fill the night,
Play till the night is through.
A magic chant is ringin' to God's unknown,
The savage voices singing one word alone.
The voodoo rhythm sounding creeps to my brain
Until my heart is pounding to the refrain:
ENLLORÔ, ENLLORÔ, ENLLORÔ, ENLLORÔ.
The lonely jungle song, throbbing loud and long,
When the voodoo rites start,
Is like the rhythm of our departed love,
Always filling my heart.
ENLLORÔ, ENLLORÔ, ENLLORÔ, ENLLORÔ.
The lonely jungle cry rising to the sky,
Full of sadness for me,
Is like the mem'ry of our departed love,
Never setting me free.
ENLLORÔ, ENLLORÔ, ENLLORÔ, ENLLORÔ,
They repeat to the beat of the drums.
ENLLORÔ, ENLLORÔ, ENLLORÔ, ENLLORÔ.
Hark to the drums! Dark voodoo drums!
They fill the night,
Play till the night is through.
ENLLORÔ, ENLLORÔ, ENLLORÔ, ENLLORO.
